My Approach to Therapy:

​

*Currently only working with couples*

"I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to learn about themselves, regardless of what particular issues bring them to therapy. I emphasize utilizing a client’s unique background, values, and strengths to help in the change process. My therapeutic approach draws from psychodynamic, sociocultural, positive psychology, transactional analysis, humanistic/existential, strengths-based, and cognitive-behavioral models.

I value being culturally sensitive and aim to make psychotherapy as inclusive as possible. I greatly enjoy working with marginalized groups and underrepresented groups, including people of color, individuals who identity as LGBTIQA, lower income individuals, and couples who are in non-traditional relationships. I am deeply committed to providing culturally competent treatment to every person or couple I work with and integrating my ongoing knowledge and expertise in cultural anthropology and social justice issues/DEI into my clinical work. I believe this is important for any type of psychotherapy to be effective."
